More details to this question:
The association did not provide a safe and healthy environment as per their by laws. They allowed the homeowner beneath me to rent a room, also not allowed as per their by laws, and that "squatter" attacked me on one occasion and harassed me on many occasions to the point I had to move out. I filed for Bankruptcy and the condo is in foreclosure. They are trying to say I still need to pay them. I believe I do not because they did not render the services they were suppose to provide as per their by laws.

Not that I am aware of. Condo fees generally are utilized for payment of ongoing maintenance of the common areas and for deposits into capital accounts for repair or replacement of longer-term capital improvements, like parking areas, roofs and building siding.
